Renault Clio Hatchback (05 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
Last Updated: 11 November 2010
The latest Clio is one of the best small cars around in terms of cabin room thanks to a long wheelbase which means excellent rear passenger space. It's also very refined and comfortable helped by good noise insulation, quiet engines and a cosseting ride. A maximum five-star Euro NCAP crash rating means it's incredibly safe too. Cabin quality is much improved over the previous Clio and the design and finish have an upmarket feel that few alternatives can match. The previous generation Clio is still sold as an entry-level version of the model - but is now badged as Clio Campus. In May 2009 the model was significantly facelifted with a different front end, improvements to the steering and a new sporty GT model.
